FC Juárez’s men and women teams are set to compete in notable matches this Thursday. The men’s team, the Bravos, will launch their campaign in the 2025 Leagues Cup against Charlotte FC at Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina. This tournament features teams from Liga BBVA MX and Major League Soccer (MLS), allowing for a competitive showdown as they aim to showcase their skills.
This encounter marks the first time FC Juárez will face Charlotte FC, and the Bravos are entering the match following a 1-1 draw against Tijuana. The team has prepared well, utilizing the training facilities of El Paso Locomotive before heading to Charlotte for final preparations. Head coach Martin Varini emphasized the team’s humble approach to the challenge, celebrating the opportunity to compete against a “super competitive” MLS.
On the women’s side, the Bravas are gearing up to meet Chivas Femenil in Guadalajara. They come into this match after a mixed start to their season, having drawn their opener against Atlas and secured a victory against Puebla. The team looks to enhance their performance with the potential return of several key players, adding depth to their lineup for this upcoming challenge.
While the Bravas will be without star forward Jasmine Casarez due to suspension, the additions of players like Julitha Singano and Enekia Lunyamila, returning from international duty, could bolster their performance against a strong Chivas team.
